The Standard Chartered 10k is arguably the most prestigious 10k race in Singapore because it boasts one of the toughest competition field and one of the widest commercial and media coverage. It is also well- planned and provides great welfare for the runners, for example, the many drink stations that lined the route. The route is historical, memorable, symbolic and scenic. The race is a favourite for many, both elite and recreational runners.
2008 took a bit of a turn from the convention in the previous years. This year there's a slope up Sheares Bridge just after the 5k mark. And there's not much of a clash with the other categories runners. And the end turn is a bit different too.
2008 is won by a Gurkha policeman, followed closely by Singapore running sensation Rui Yong.
